Title: Elak Javel / Sneaky Suspicion

Label: USTA

Date: 2001

 

Track listing:

02. Sneaky Suspicion

 

Review:

 

I really liked the 12" released on Digital Structures some months ago

but this EP isn´t nearly as dark and interesting unfortunately. "Elak

Javel" (4/10) sounds to me like a very very very long intro and then the

track is finally over. "Elak Javel" is just a chugging beat combined

with some noises. I know that a lot of the trance that´s made nowdays

consist of only a beat and some noises, and in many cases that´s enough,

but this track lack something. The two words "Elak Javel" are swedish

words. Translated word by word it means something like Mean/Nasty Devil,

but I think that Bad MotherfXXXer may be better? Anyway... I expected

something harsh and industrial since that´s how the last EP from D.S.

sounded but I got something really boring instead. "Sneaky Suspicion"

(4/10) is just as uninteresting as "Elak Javel". The same elements over

and over again. Minimal Scando... No Thanks! Michael Andresen may be

very versatile but I think this EP should never have been released.

a more correctly translation of "Elak Javel" would be "Mean Motherfucker" i

think ;) couse the word u mean by devil is; "Djävul" ;) and they often

translate mean motherfucker to "Elak Javel" in movies... hehe ;-)

Sneaky Suspicion is awesome! I can't believe the reviews above!!! Don't listen

to them..they are wrong! SS is an excellent minimal/progressive track - but u

need to hear it on quality speakers to fully appreciate it. Get the EP for

this track alone, its well worth it if you like dark, powerful, minimal

trance. 8/10

Wow i can't believe all the negative reviews! I was expecting Elak Javel to be

a prologue to sneaky suspicion - but NO it is a GREAT tune in itself

absolutely brilliant! Stomping kicks, with this awesome tribal feel with those

continuous deep and subtle tribal drums. I must admit this would be more of a

warm-up track than a killer dance track - but that's perfect for the EP! SS

IMHO is not what i thought it would be - you really need subwoofers for this

baby i think. But there are some VERY cool synth work in here.. nice EP 7.5/10
